Abstract

Acute myeloblastic leukemia is suspected usually because of abnormalities of the peripheral blood or bone marrow. In some cases there may also be an extramedullary focus of leukemic cells called a chloroma or granulocytic sarcoma. On occasion, these tumor masses may precede any evidence of leukemia by months or years. They are often misdiagnosed as lymphomas or granulomas. We present here a case of acute myeloblastic leukemia that was preceded by a granulocytic sarcoma of the clavicle. The initial biopsy of the clavicle was thought to be consistent with Ewing's sarcoma. The patient was treated with systemic chemotherapy prior to gross marrow involvement. He has been in continuous complete remission 34 months after the start of chemotherapy and 44 months after the development of granulocytic sarcoma.

Acute Myeloid Leukemia

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a clinically and genetically heterogeneous disease with approximately 20,000 cases per year in the United States. AML also accounts for 15-20% of all childhood acute leukemias, while it is responsible for more than half of the leukemic deaths in these patients. Here is the latest research on this disease.

Blood And Marrow Transplantation

The use of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation or blood and marrow transplantation (bmt) is on the increase worldwide. BMT is used to replace damaged or destroyed bone marrow with healthy bone marrow stem cells. Here is the latest research on bone and marrow transplantation.
